1
Status LEDs (PSU1, PSU2 & FAN)
The three LEDs indicate the status of the two internal power supplies and the cooling fan. For the PSUs: green =
normal operation; off = PSU error or no power connected. For the fan: off = normal operation; red = fan error
detected.

NET ID
The
button and LED can be used to reset the service network IP address or perform a factory reset. For
safety reasons, a press and hold is required; a quick press of the button performs no action.
3
ETHERNET A & ETHERNET B
Each BRIDGE module provides two network ports:
ETHERNET A
and
ETHERNET B
. These provide the
RAVENNA Link or RAVENNA Net connections depending on the conversion mode.
For each port, you can connect using copper (RJ45, CAT 5 or better) or optical fibre (via SFP).
·
If the conversion mode = RAVENNA Link
, then the ETHERNET A port must be directly wired to the
corresponding RAVENNA Link port on the mc
2
/Nova system.
·
If the conversion mode = RAVENNA Net
, then either or both ports connect to the streaming network.
By connecting both ports (ETHERNET A and ETHERNET B), the BRIDGE can support redundant
streaming via
.
Please note: each copper port is accompanied by two status LEDs. Active LED: yellow = data transmission; off =
no data transmission. Link LED: green = link established; off = no link.
4
MADI 1 & 2
Each BRIDGE module provides two MADI ports:
MADI 1
and
MADI 2
. The connections conform to AES 10, each
carrying up to 64 input and 64 output channels.
Both MADI ports use SFP modules to support a variety of connections.
·
If the conversion mode = MADI (raw)
, then both ports can be used. Connect each port to your external
MADI device.
·
If the conversion mode = RAVENNA Link to/from MADI (DALLIS)
, then only
MADI 1
can be used.
This should connect to the MADI port on the DALLIS Master Board. In this mode, both audio and control
are distributed to the DALLIS.
Each MADI port is accompanied by a Lock/Error status LED: green = valid MADI signal detected; red = MADI
signal or link error; off = no signal detected.
5
WCLK IN & OUT
The
WCLK IN
can be used to connect an external Wordclock input. This can be used as the external sync
reference IF the conversion mode = RAVENNA to/from MADI. Providing Wordclock is selected as the sync input,
in the RAVENNA Web UI, then both BRIDGE modules will sync to this input. Note that this option cannot be
used in other conversion modes.
The
WCLK OUT
connector provides an output of the active sync source for BRIDGE 1. It can be used in any
conversion mode. Note that a sync output from BRIDGE 2 is not accessible.
Both connections use a standard BNC video connector.
